Anchor Diamond Park at Hawkwood is located in the Town of Ballston. The trailhead parking area is located along the west side of Middleline Road, just north of its intersection with Route 50, and less than two miles north of the hamlet of Burnt Hills.

Curious By Nature 
Thank you for posting these photos. I was looking into the accessibility of these trails as I am always looking for ways to get out in nature. Your photos helped me notice things my wheelchair can and cannot handle.
Thank you, Dee. I’m pleased that this “preview” of the trail system was of assistance to you. Please note that I have compiled a list of area parks, trails and nature preserves (https://curiousbynature.wordpress.com/area-nature-preserves-parks-and-trails/) that may be wheelchair accessible. Hope this helps. Happy trails!
